Chapter 250: The Power of Faith
Xingliuyun sighed when he heard this,
"Alas, it's not because of the murder of Jinyun City and Yao Xiangcheng, which not only made the Huangfu Mausoleum miserable, but also pulled Young Master Ben in. β
"Oh, what do you mean by that? Xiao Cong was surprised, looking a little interested.
But when I heard Xingliuyun, I hung my head and said:
"The Dugu family is ruthless enough this time, and has used nearly a million lives in the two cities to give the Huangfu Mausoleum a chain, it seems that he wants to make the Huangfu Mausoleum completely ruined, and the Huangfu Mausoleum saw that he didn't have a move, so he asked my father to borrow three hundred fine sons, no, this young master personally came to this Puqiu country to take command and personally conquer. β
"Why did Huangfu Ling fall into disrepute? Isn't it easy to prove that he didn't do this! As long as a few dead soldiers disguise themselves as Dugu's family members and confess their guilt or directly turn the matter to the surface, and have the merits of the people who fought Dugu's family in the past few times to support it, the people of Puqiu Kingdom will still believe in him more after all. β
Hearing this, Xingliuyun let out another long sigh,
"Easy is easy, but what you say is the next policy, whether it is to find a few dead soldiers to disguise themselves as Dugu's family members to confess their guilt or directly turn things over to the surface, they can't conclusively fall on the Dugu family's head, and then the people's hearts should be wavering, besides, he doesn't dare, he is afraid that the Dugu family will be annoyed and angry and jump over the wall to retaliate against him, and he will sacrifice him a few more cities, and he, the lord of Puqiu country, will exist in name only. β
"So ......"
"So he wants to find out the forces that help the Dugu family carry out the living sacrifice, directly eradicate it, and then prove his innocence, which will not be used by my Xing family. β
Xiao Cong understood, bowed slightly,
It makes sense for him to do this, it seems that he himself knows that there is a reason why the Dugu family chose to attack him in the Puqiu country, but he doesn't know if this country lord will deal with the Dugu family like before after this difficulty. β
Hearing this, Xingliuyun slapped the table and swore an oath:
"You can rest assured about this, this guy Huangfuling has always been a master who will repay him, and the Dugu family is treating him like this, and he may not know how to get it back. β
"But there's one thing I don't understand. Xingliuyun stroked his chin again with his right hand, frowned and thought: "This time, the Dugu family has made a solid comeback, why didn't they take advantage of the iron to chase after it, if they want to sacrifice his two cities alive, it shouldn't be the people's resentment and anger, it should be the rebellion of the whole people!"
Xiao Cong thought for a moment and replied:
"Probably because I'm afraid that the matter will be exposed, and it will be difficult to collect it. β
Xingliuyun raised his sword eyebrows lightly,
"What do you mean by that?"
Xiao Cong said with a straight face:
"The reason why the Dugu family wants to compete with the Xuanzhen royal family for the supreme position of the Xuanzhen Realm is nothing more than for the creation of the people's hearts in the Xuanzhen Mortal Realm. β
"What creation?"
"The power of faith. β
"You speak clearly, I, a martial cultivator, don't understand the Tao contained in your power of faith. Starstream Cloud said a little impetuously.
Xiao Cong's flat mouth,
"I can't tell you the specifics of this power of faith
What is it in the end, it can only be understood as the piety of living beings is also a kind of power in the underworld, although it is very small, but the accumulation of soil into a mountain into armpits into a fur, the mortals in the Xuanzhen mortal realm are endless, and the energy gathered by concentricity is not to be underestimated. β
"It's like the immortals of Dongsheng Immortal Capital absorbing the power of the mortal world?" Xingliuyun asked with an eyebrow.
Xiao Cong nodded,
"Almost. β
"And what's the use of this power of faith?"
Xiao Cong thought for a moment, and replied with a glance:
"For those immortals, it should be used for self-cultivation, and for the Xuanzhen Royal, it is probably to maintain its rule in the Xuanzhen Realm. β
Knowing that Starstream Cloud would definitely not understand this, he paused and explained further:
"Well, how can I say it, you can think that the reason why the Xuanzhen Royal has produced many talents and prospered is because of this. β
"You say, the power of faith can affect the fortunes of the clan?" Xingliuyun suddenly said.
Xiao Cong touched his nose and nodded,
That's pretty much what it means. β
"Aren't all mortals leeks?"
Xiao Cong was slightly stunned when he heard this, thinking that it was indeed such a lier, and then smiled and said:
"Willing to be a mortal, their hearts are already fragile, if they want to find a psychological support, they have to contribute their faith power, or rather, it is not the Xuanzhen Royal Royals who are asking for their faith power, but because of their psychological needs, such an exchange is naturally formed. β
Looking at Xingliuyun's sad watch, he knew that his words hadn't hit the nail on the head, so he sorted out his thoughts and continued:
"In my understanding, in this world, there is a certain connection between the mind of living beings and some things in the underworld, the so-called faith, put on a certain living being is what he thinks in his heart, and what he thinks in his heart will not cause any damage to himself, and there will be no harm in being one heart and one mind, after all, as the old saying goes, the law does not blame the public, and besides, God has the virtue of a good life, and it will be said that the power of faith will have any unexpected benefits for thousands of living beings. β
Starstream Cloud nodded and muttered:
"This person who came out of Tiandao Xuan is different, and if she is a cultivator, my sister may not be able to know much more than you. β
Xiao Cong smiled shyly,
"The boss is too modest, Sister Younu just didn't notice this, with my sister's cleverness, it will be clear if I think about it a little. β
Hearing this, Xingliuyun waved his hand impatiently,
"Let's not do all this nonsense between the two of us, continue to get down to business, what are your plans next?"
Xiao Cong laughed a few times,
"What, does Boss Star have any advice?"
Xingliuyun scratched his head, his face was gloomy,
"If you're all right, can you stay and help me for a while, this matter...... It's a bit tricky. β
Xiao Cong smiled,
"This is no problem, the star boss has spoken in person, does my Xiao Cong have any reason to follow?"
Starstream Cloud raised his head and said with a smile:
"It's not going to be wrong for you. β
Xiao Cong still had a smile on his face, but he looked at the total
I feel a little colder,
"Boss, you are so polite, it makes me very flustered. β
Xingliuyun looked at Xiao Cong for a long time, patted the latter's shoulder vigorously, and said briskly:
"Okay, this matter is settled, I know, according to the spleen of the fourth young master of your Xiao family, there will be no end to the matter, with you, I can rest assured. β
Xiao Cong glanced at Xingliuyun and snorted lightly:
"The Xiao family is gone, where is there any fourth young master of the Xiao family. β
Xingliuyun was slightly stunned, and then smiled:
"With you Xiao Cong here, the Xiao family is here, one Xiao Cong is worthy of the entire Xiao family. β
Looking at Xingliuyun's smiling face, Xiao Cong nodded, turned his gaze to the door, and said fixedly:
"That's right, I'm Xiao Cong, the Xiao family is here, one Xiao Cong can support the entire Xiao family!"
......
After that, Xiao Cong briefly told Xingliuyun about his journey with Hongxiang near the sun desert, of course, the content must have been processed, he didn't say a word about Yun Jingbo and the completion of the United States, but he emphasized the part of the Fire Saint Palace using the Dugu family to release the fire spirit half-immortal, Xingliuyun listened to it fascinated, and finally stalked him, he had to let Xiao Cong take out the Shenji Sword to open his eyes, Xiao Cong couldn't resist this guy's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and in desperation, he had to put a hidden shadow hiding array on the spot, and took out the Divine Jealousy Sword in the hidden shadow hidden breathing array and handed it to Xingliuyun, which can be regarded as making Xingliuyun have a good timeγ
The two finally agreed that in order to ensure each other's safety, they would not meet again for the time being, and the scope of activities would be limited to several surrounding cities, and as soon as there was news, they would immediately notify each other, and when they left, Xingliuyun also gave Xiao Cong a token, saying that this was a token used to identify between their Xing family's children, and said that wearing this thing on it would definitely help later, Xiao Cong saw Xingliuyun with a sworn look, so he believed in his ghost, and put the token into Mikei, and then left with Hongxiang along the same road.
Since he was invited by Xingliuyun, the original plan to go to Rin Yuan to practice had to be shelved, but then again, for Hong Xiang, where to cultivate is not cultivation, investigating the disaster of Jinyun City and Yao Xiangcheng is much more dangerous than going to Rin Yuan to practice, besides, it's time for this guy to face the horror of people's hearts.
But where should this matter begin? He hadn't seen that miserable sacrifice anywhere! But it seemed that apart from this breakthrough point, there was no other place where he could detect any clues, and now he could only hope that the elusive little people of the Star Family would be able to find something useful.
During this period, because he was idle and bored, Xiao Cong took Hongxiang to the Heaven Destroying Sect and the Herudder of the Luoxian Mansion to patronize it, but he found nothing, and several nameless loose cultivators who were secretly tracked down, and finally ruled out suspicion, Xiao Cong was so angry, he felt like a headless fly at this time, but he never hit the point with his strength, of course, what was more anxious than Xiao Cong was the Xingliuyun who was the person in charge of this investigation, this girl has now become an ant on the pot, circling around the streets of the city all day long.
So after a few more days, Ouyang Xun came
γ
Xiao Cong received a secret notice from Xingliuyun, and took Hongxiang to the stronghold of the Xing family's fine son, and saw that Xingliuyun and Ouyang Xun were already waiting in the main room of the main hall.
Compared with Xingliuyun's frowning, Ouyang Xun still has the appearance of hanging Lang Lang in his memory, this guy knocked on Erlang's leg, sat on the bench, saw Xiao Cong come in, gritted his teeth, Xiao Cong didn't have time to speak, he heard this guy talk crazy:
"Okay, you Xiao Cong, you haven't appeared for so long, I thought you were captured alive by some force. β
Xiao Congbai glanced at Ouyang Xun, who had always been open-mouthed, first bowed to the senior of the Turtle Mansion, then sat down on the bench and said:
"You got involved. β
Ouyang Xun didn't have time to answer, and Xingliuyun on the side took over and said:
"I asked him to come. β
Ouyang Xun snorted lightly, looking like a high-spirited two or five hundred, and raised his eyebrows at Xiao Cong with a look of floating.
Xiao Cong opened the two upside-down tea bowls and said casually:
"Say, I've found something. β
Reach out and fill the two tea bowls with water, and push one of them in front of Hongxiang.
Xingliuyun straightened up, and said in a deep voice:
"According to the report of the fine son I inserted into the Dugu family, recently, the Dugu family has been honest and tight, and I haven't seen any big moves, let alone any strange cultivators entering and leaving the Dugu family, it is said that such an ancient sacrifice should always take care of some cause and effect, but according to the reports of the fine children I scattered all over Xuanzhen, they all said that they didn't notice such a thing. β
The more Xingliuyun spoke, the more depressed he became, and his brows gradually twisted into a big pimple.
"Then what did you call Ouyang Xun for?"
Xiao Cong moved the tea bowl to his mouth and took a sip of water.
"Now I've tried all the methods, I really can't help it, they all say that the predecessors of the Turtle Mansion are very knowledgeable, so I will find Ouyang Xun to take a line, and find the predecessors of the Turtle Mansion to take a look, maybe I can see something different. β
Xiao Cong nodded,
"I've been secretly investigating for so long, and I haven't found anything, this matter is too strange, I'm afraid that you and I alone can't find out anything. β
Ouyang Xun sneered on the side:
"Alas, even the eldest young master of the Xing family has no recruitment, this Dugu family ...... Gee. β
Xingliuyun raised his head, and his gaze swept over Ouyang Xun's face,
"What, does Young Master Ouyang have any tricks?"
Ouyang Xun shook his head,
"Nope. β
"Then shut up!" Xingliuyun finished speaking, and turned his face away.
Hongxiang on the side said cowardly:
"Brother, I think ...... There's still no need to go......"
"Why?" Xingliuyun and Xiao Cong said in unison.
"It's been so long, and the other party hasn't destroyed the body, will it be ...... Could it be that there are some traps left on purpose, waiting for us to bite the hook? β
Xingliuyun and Xiao Cong glanced at each other, and Xingliuyun said:
That's right, it's one
What a loophole, why didn't I find it before!" There was a bit of hatred in his tone.
Xiao Cong thought for a while and said:
"It's okay to go and have a look, I'll go to Jinyun City tonight to repair a teleportation array, and I'll take the Turtle Mansion seniors on a trip tomorrow. β
Ouyang Xun laughed a few times, and gave a thumbs up richly:
"High, really high. β
Xiao Cong naturally heard the irony in Ouyang Xun's words, darkened his little face, and said coldly:
"If you have something to say, just let it go, don't beat around the bush. β
Ouyang Xun's tone was still contemptuous, and Yang Wei said angrily:
"I said that you are thinking too much, although the fact that Jinyun City was not destroyed is suspicious, but it is absolutely impossible for the other party to set a trap there, you Xiao Cong have such a good relationship with Xingliuyun, they can't think of preventing you? Don't worry, we all go to this place, but don't believe what you see." β
Xiao Cong and Xingliuyun are both smart people, so they naturally understand the meaning of Ouyang Xun's words, Xingliuyun stood up and said:
"Okay, let's go now. β
